Pie Pals Pie Crust

This crust recipe is tried and true:  flaky and light, with just enough salt to complement a sweet pie or tart.  Complete directions are included, so even a novice baker can be proud!

Salty Dog Pie
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes plus crust/cooling
  • Baking Time: 50 minutes for pie, 15 for crust

Salty Dog Pie

If you like pink, as in pink grapefruit, you'll love this one.  It's very much like the cocktail made with pink grapefruit juice and vodka, served with a rim of salt (like a margarita).  It's refreshing and different, perfect for a summer party.

St. Patrick's Day Pie (a.k.a. Grasshopper Pie)
  • Prep Time: 30 minutes plus 2 hours freezing
  • Baking Time: none

St. Patrick's Day Pie (a.k.a. Grasshopper Pie)

This is like those chocolate minty cookies sold by neighborhood girls in the Spring...only more creamy and "adult." A decadent indulgence. (I challenge you to find one ingredient in here with any redeeming nutritional value. But what the heck.)

Sugar-Free Banana Cream Pie
  • Prep Time: 30 minutes plus chilling
  • Baking Time: Crust: 15 minutes

Sugar-Free Banana Cream Pie

It's really good!  The chocolate adds a touch of elegance and flavor.  

Swiss Meringue
  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Baking Time: 15 minutes

Swiss Meringue

Ah!  A beautiful, airy crown for a rich cream or lemon pie.  This version of meringue is less complicated than the Italian recipe and provides reliable results. 

Baker's sugar has a finer crystalline structure than regular sugar, so it dissolves more easily, which is good.  It's available at most grocery stores.

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes plus 2 hours for chilling
  • Baking Time: 10-12 minutes

Tart Pastry Crust

Tarts are special and deserve a great crust.  This is a good recipe for most tarts, similar to pie crust but a little richer.
